Both experienced and novice gardeners have heard about the dangers of late blight.
Instead of telling you that this disease can leave you without a tomato harvest, the expert of the online publication BelNovosti, agronomist, landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh listed preventive measures available to everyone.
First, let's talk about greenhouse plants.
If you grow tomatoes in a greenhouse, make sure it is regularly ventilated. This is the only way to reduce the humidity level and prevent condensation.
Another important action to take is mulching.
Since in most cases the fungus comes from the soil, it is necessary to create a protective layer between it and the plants - this way the potential threat of infection can be reduced to a minimum.
For this purpose, gardeners most often use materials such as hay or straw.
Finally, don't forget to carry out regular preventive treatments with fungicides. This will help you harvest healthy and ripe fruits.
